Shanghai Micro-Geographies

Shing and I finally gave a first look at our research into typological inventions in Shanghai’s old fabric. The talk “Shanghai Micro-geographies” was given at the University of California Humanities Research Institute SECT IV workshop on August 18th. The research was the subject of Shing’s Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship, and it’s been a labour of love. The presentation was received with very engaged questions and we are looking forward to pushing the book to press. Now to sort through thousands of images and piles of survey drawing. MORE PHOTOS
